Malone Talks to Get Up Little
Boom on His Own Behalf.
WASHINGTON, March THE Alex.
andria Gazette this afternoon publishes
an interesting statement concerning Gen.
Mahone's views on the State debt. Prior
to his departure from Washington the
General had conversation upon this
subject with prominent Virginia Re-
publican who has been in his confidence
a long time, and said with emphasis that
he would allow his right arm to wither
in its socket before by word or deed
of his, or through any influence
he might possess, he would aid in
repudiating one cent of the Just
inde btedEess of the State. He was not,
be said. at present prepared to present
his views at length, or divulge his plans
tor settlement, but at the proper time
he would make them known. In refer
ence to the amount Of the debt he thinks
there is no difficulty in its ascertainment.
and that il the State and her creditors
will employ three able hnanciers of this
country or from abroad he would
guarantee to demonstrate to them by
facts and figures the sum the State owes,
and whatever might be their decision he
would pledge himself to abide by it and
use all his influence to secure its adop-
tion. OF his future political course the
General is uncertain, but it is the belief
that he will go into the fight the coming
fall and will assume the leadership, and
in the event of success crowning his
efforts he will again 60 10 the Senate.

NITRo-GLYCERINE ExPLoDEs.
One Man Blown to Atoms and the
Building Demolished.

NEW YORK, March THE dynamite
works OF Mrs. Mary A. Ditmar, at Bay
Chester, on the sound, blew up for the
fifth time to-day, killing one man and lev.
cling the building to the ground. The
last previous explosion was on Sept. 80,
at which time four men were blown to
atoms. Mrs. Ditmar was indicted for
maintaining a nuisance on the com
plant of citizens living in the
immediate vicinity, and she was
tried before the supreme Court and
jury, and verdict of not guilty was
rendered. She then caused the building
to be rebuilt, and the work of making
dynamite, or, rather, the preparation of
nitro-glycerine, which is used on the new
aqueduet, to be continued. The
explosion to-day was in the mix
ing house. The only person
in the building at the time was Henry
Altinger, a German laborer. Max Kruger,
the foreman, had just left the mixing
house and had almost reached the boiler
house when he was stunned by the crash
and flying debris. When he recovered
from the shock he found himself sur
rounded with broken and splntered tim
bers and fragments OF the young mans
body who was at work there at the time.
There were about 800 pounds of glycerine
IN the vessel. The site of the building is
marked by big hole about 10 feet deep
and 20 feet in diameter.

ALL OUT OF MONEY.
The Deficiency Appropriation BilPs
Failure Very Unfortunate.

very
WASHINGTON, March THE signal
service is likely to be sadly pinched by
the failure OF the general deficiency ap-
preparation bill. The deficiency esti-
mates for this service aggregated
$23, ITO, large part OF the total being es-
Inmates for transportation and mileage.
The estimates for the transportation OF
men, baggage, etc., was small item,
amounting to but $2,325, but the failure
of Congress to appropriate that sum will
cause embarrassment, for, according to
the statement of the Chief Signal Officer,
it is impossible to move man, even to
discharge or re-enlist him, or to replace
those who are dead or dangerously i'll.
The term of service of a number of men
has expired, but they must be retained in
the corps from lack of money to send
them to their homes. The most serious
consequence of the failure of the bill,
perhaps, Will be the discontinuance of
storm warnings, cold waves, ETC., at a
number of important points, owing to
the failure of the item apprOpriating
$4,000 for telegraphing and reporting
these warnings. So nearly exhausted is
the sum now available for this purpose,
that a heavy cut must be made in the
service at q very early date.

A WAY OUT OF THE MUDDLE.
How the Indiana Democrats Pro-
pose to Bring About Peace.


INDIANAPOLIS, March Tt was
learned last night that several prominent
gentlemen have written to President
Cleveland asking that President Smith,
of the State Senate, be appointed Judge
Turpie's successor as Distric Attorney,
and that the Governor has signifed his
purpose of calling an extra session OF the
Legislature II the appointment be made.
Representative Patterns selection as war
den Of the southern prison, DR.. Shively's
appointment 20 q position on the state
Board Of Health,and Mr.. Smiths appoint
ment will cause three vacancies to De
filled by election, but each OF the districts
is solldiy Democratic. and there would
be no change In the political status OF the
Legislature. This would require thirty
days, and the extra session would be
called at the end Of that time, the Demo-
Gratis conceding Mr.. Robertson's right to
preside over the Senate during its con-
tinuance. A strong effort is being made
fer Mr.. Smith, but Judge Turpie is under
stood to oppose 1t bectuse his contest and
Smiths confirmation would both be
before the Senate at the same time.
Other equally prominent Democrats
however, regard this as the only way out
of the mu6dle.
The session of the General Assembly
expired by Limitation to-day ana both
branches adjourned tonight. The ap-
preparation bills were not passed, but
this failure will not seriously affect the
routine business OF the State, because it
is provided that when the general appro-
priation pill fails Of passage the appro-
priations made by the preceding Legisla-
ture shall he continued. Nearly all the
important legislation of the session has
tailed. Gov. Gray tonight states that he
will not call an extra session.
